OfficialServer Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.4.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct operation: audio_ducking mixes voice and music, text/music/sfx generation are separate, video-to-music/sfx are different from text versions, account info and usage are distinct, playback is unique. No overlapping purposes.
Naming Consistency4/5Tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with verb_noun (e.g., get_account_services) or source_to_target (e.g., text_to_music). The only minor deviation is audio_ducking (gerund form) instead of duck_audio, but it's still clear and fits the naming style.
Tool Count5/59 tools cover a well-scoped domain: audio/video generation, mixing, playback, and account management. The count is appropriate for the complexity, with each tool earning its place.
Completeness4/5The tool surface covers generation (text/video to music/sfx), ducking, playback, and account management. Minor gaps include lack of a cancel-task tool, but the core workflows are complete and well-supported.
Average 4.3/5 across 9 of 9 tools scored. Lowest: 3.6/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the action and supported formats but omits important behavioral traits like error handling, device availability, or path validation. The return success message is mentioned but not detailed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise with two short sentences and a bullet list of formats. It is front-loaded with the core action and quickly provides essential details without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter, the description is mostly complete. It covers the action, path semantics, formats, and return value. Some minor gaps like error conditions exist, but the tool is straightforward.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only provides parameter name and type (0% coverage). The description adds value by explaining that the path is absolute or relative to SONILO_MCP_BASE_PATH, and lists supported audio formats, which clarifies parameter usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action 'Play a local audio file' and specifies supported formats. It distinguishes from sibling tools like audio_ducking and text_to_music, making its purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or any context for usage beyond basic operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully carries the burden. It discloses API call cost, local file saving, licensing for commercial use, and return format. This provides substantial behavioral insight for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise yet informative, starting with the core action and then covering parameters and warnings. The cost warning is a separate line with emoji for visibility. No superfluous text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity, the description covers the basic workflow, inputs, outputs, and important context (cost, licensing). It lacks error handling details but is sufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but description adds detailed semantics: prompt character limit (1-1000), duration range (1-360 seconds), and output_directory defaults and path behavior. This greatly enriches the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Generate music from a text prompt', specifying the action and resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like text_to_sfx, though the licensing and 'music' keyword imply distinct purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a cost warning and instructs 'Only use when explicitly requested by the user', which gives usage context. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or when to prefer alternatives like text_to_sfx.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. The term 'Get' implies a read-only operation, but no further behavioral details (e.g., authentication requirements, rate limits, side effects) are disclosed. Basic purpose is clear, but behavioral context is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: a single sentence stating the purpose, followed by a structured Args section. No wasted words. The most important information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given a single optional parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the parameter well. It lacks detail about the return format (e.g., fields in the usage summary), but the core functionality is sufficiently described for an agent to use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates well. It explains the 'days' parameter with its type (int), optionality, default (30), and valid range (1–365). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's type and default fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves the authenticated account's usage summary with a per-day breakdown. The verb 'get' and noun 'usage summary' are specific. Sibling tool names (e.g., audio_ducking, text_to_sfx) are unrelated to usage data, so this tool is well-differentiated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit context by stating the tool is 'useful for cost reconciliation and tracking generation history.' While it doesn't list when not to use this tool or alternatives, the siblings are functionally distinct, making the use case clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully discloses async behavior, potential timeout, cost implication, and return format. It also mentions error recovery with task_id. This is thorough for a mutation-like tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with a clear first sentence, a cost warning, and a parameter list. It is concise enough, though the parameter descriptions could be slightly more compact.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 4 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema described, the description covers usage, parameter details, async behavior, and recovery. Sibling tools provide context. No significant gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by explaining each parameter: prompt character limit, duration range, audio_format options with default, and output_directory defaults. It adds constraints beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool generates a sound effect from a text prompt and saves the audio file. It uses a specific verb ('Generate') and resource ('sound effect'), and distinguishes from siblings like text_to_music and video_to_sfx.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a cost warning and advises using only when explicitly requested. It explains async nature and recovery via get_sfx_task. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools or state when not to use it beyond cost.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses async backend processing, cost implications, file format/limits, segment validation rules, and error recovery via get_sfx_task. Could mention authentication or file lifecycle but sufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Well-structured with intro, cost warning, parameter details, and return info. Each sentence adds value, though slightly verbose. Front-loaded with purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers all 6 parameters with constraints, mutual exclusivity, async nature, error recovery. Does not specify output file persistence, but output schema exists. Adequate for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It thoroughly explains each parameter: video_path/video_url constraints, prompt length, segments structure and validation, audio_format options, output_directory default. Adds significant value beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Generate sound effects for a video: Sonilo analyzes the video and creates matching SFX'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like text_to_sfx or video_to_music by specifying it takes video input and produces sound effects.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance: 'Provide either a local video file path or a publicly accessible video URL' and 'Exactly one of video_path and video_url must be provided'. Also includes a cost warning and notes asynchronous behavior. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like text_to_sfx.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the return data (services, rate limits, concurrency, discount, max upload size) and implies read-only behavior. There is no mention of authentication or side effects, but for a simple GET-like tool this is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundancy, front-loaded with the main action. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has no parameters and no output schema, but the description fully captures its purpose and output. It is complete for a simple informational endpoint.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters and the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter-specific information because none is needed. Baseline for zero-parameter tools is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Get' and clearly identifies the resource 'authenticated account's available Sonilo services'. It lists specific data items (rate limits, concurrency limit, etc.) and the sibling tools are all generation tools, so this info tool is well-distinguished.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states 'Use this to discover what generation endpoints are available before calling them', providing clear when-to-use context. It does not mention when not to use or alternatives, but the purpose is sufficiently clear for a self-contained info tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: it does not poll, never charges, and details all possible return states (still processing, succeeded, failed including refund info). No contradictions exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is about 120 words, uses a clear structure with separate sections for args and returns, and avoids redundancy. A slight reduction in wording could improve conciseness without losing clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (2 params, no enums, no nested objects, output schema), the description covers all necessary aspects: purpose, usage trigger, parameter meaning, return behavior, and charging policy. It is fully self-contained.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite 0% schema coverage, the description adds meaning: task_id is from the timeout message, output_directory is optional and defaults to SONILO_MCP_BASE_PATH. This provides necessary context beyond the schema's type definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool checks and downloads results for audio generation tasks, naming the specific source tools (text_to_sfx, video_to_sfx, audio_ducking). It distinguishes itself as the retrieval mechanism for their timeouts, which is distinct from the sibling generation tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains exactly when to use the tool: to recover a result when a generation task timed out, and mentions that it does not poll (single call per status). It does not explicitly list alternatives for retrieving results, but the context makes the intended use clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavior: it lowers/lifts music based on voice, handles video input, and describes error recovery via task_id. It also mentions cost implications, adding transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear sections (overview, cost warning, args, returns). It is slightly verbose but every sentence adds value, earning a high score for clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
